Do you believe the patriots have a shot at beating the number 1 seed next weekend?

Answer 1

Realistically, yes they do have a chance. In reality... anyone can beat anyone else in the playoffs. I think we have seen numerous examples in nearly every sport of the perfectly timed upset. In fact, last time New England impressed me was in 85-86 when they were the wild Card, knocked off damn good teams (much better than they) and played Chicago in the SuperBowl. So yes for two reasons... they are good enough and playoffs make teams play much different. Lets also not forget experience. It is very rare a team with little playoff experience does much. Brady and company are all playoff vets and will know how to handle it much better than San Diego. we may be in for a shock with this one.

Answer 2

have faith it or no longer i might say the Redskins. ok, provide up giggling... a million) they are working on all cylinders for the 1st time all year. video games against ny, Dallas, Phily, and GB all could desire to have been won aside from stupid errors, no longer by potential of being outplayed. 2) they are wholesome. fairly plenty a hundred%. no longer many different communities can say that. 3) They have been given embarassed while the two performed in the previous this year. as good as NE is, they are no longer 40 factors extra perfect than the Skins, and Washington isn't 40 factors worse than the Pats. the different group this year has long previous into the video games with the Pats hoping to stay to tell the story. Washington might go right into a rematch making plans on killing. 4)they have a good good QB in there who's rested, waiting, clever, and robust. Gibbs has a fashion with getting the products in crunch time from no longer all that great QBs. Does the call Doug Williams strike a chord? How approximately Mark Rypian?

Answer 3

Patriots have the #2 defense in the NFL. Of course they have a shot. LT is the real deal. Shawn Merriman is one of the top defensive players in the NFL. The Chargers will be favored, but the Patriots could well surprise them. The Patriots have shown in the last few weeks that they have lots of weapons and they are all working.

Answer 4

Patriots are solid and have Brady, the biggest big game player of a generation.
The Chargers also have an inexperienced QB and the dreaded Grim Reaper of playoff collapse, Marty Schottenheimer!

Battle hardened Patriots will win thanks to a transendent performance by Brady and a major gaffe or two by Schottenheimer. Rivers will turn the ball over. Brady's legend grows, as does Schottenheimer's infamy.

Patriots 21-10

Answer 5

Absolutely!! With the genius Belachik coaching and coming up with a plan and with Brady and the offense implementing that plan, together with a solid defense, the Pats have a VERY good chance to win. In fact, they will!!

Chow!!

Answer 6

Only if the Chargers get conservative as they did against Baltimore earlier in the season. I think LT will chew up Dillon and spit him out. Tom Brady can chew up Phillip Rivers and spit him out BUT if the Patriots offensive line doesn't show up for the game it will be all over. >

Answer 7

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LT, Antonio Gates, Philip Rivers, Lorenzo Neal, Shawne Merriman, Vincent Jackson, Jamal Williams, Donnie Edwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enough said

chargers will roll over the pats

Answer 8

To be honest the Pats should be favored. I would be very suprised to see them lose. Rookie qb vs Bellicheck in the playoffs? That is laughable is it not?

Answer 9

yes....the pats have been playing their best football of the year, but their A- or B+ game won't work, they have to bring their A+ game

Answer 10

God I hope that they have a shot.

Hey, never count the Belicheck out.
